L-Band Multichannel Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) (PDF, 0.43 MB)
The WaveReady WRA-217L is an L-band dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical amplifier that is completely user-configurable. This multichannel amplifier provides a simple, economical L-band optical amplification solution in a flexible, ready-to-use package. The WRA-217L amplifier includes an advanced gain control circuit, an efficient pump laser, and a mid-stage variable attenuator.
The WRA-217L can be configured as a booster or as a pre/inline amplifier. The module works by default in constant signal gain mode but can be configured to constant total output power mode. Its ease-of-use and performance make the WRA-217L the ideal solution for high-density metro applications. Front panel light emitting diodes (LEDs) indicate module status, while integrated electronics provide alarm and control functionality.
Deployed with a WaveReady communications module (COM200), these units offer remote management and configuration through TL1, SNMP, or using the WaveReady Node Manager. Local and remote management are performed through an RS-232 or Ethernet port on the communications module.
The module is installed in a WaveReady 3500F or 3100 (shelf-mounted, 19- or 23- inch telecommunications racks).
